The series will be based on the character from Green Arrow comics published by DC Comics. This is encouraging news that a pilot will be shot, but it doesn’t guarantee it will have a home on the Fall 2012 schedule.

Smallville’s Green Arrow, Justin Hartley, is at this time “not expected to be involved.”

Additionally, The CW has ordered pilots for Beauty & The Beast and The Carrie Diaries. You can read more about both of those projects at our general TV news site, KSiteTV.
